    How to care for your flax linen

    Organic flax linen looks incredible. It's a beautiful, natural fabric, that gets better and better with age. Crisp, breathable, entirely luxurious.

    We use 100% Belgian flax that is woven into a high quality linen, that isn't extensively pre-softened with water-intensive stone-washing or more toxic softeners (like bleach). We do use some sustainable, GOTS certified softening, in line with customer requests, so this does reduce the life of the fabric slightly, but it reduces the number of washes before it is used and means that more people love using it! Note that linen naturally may also have some shedding of fibres. This is normal for Belgian and French flax linen and should reduce after the first few washes. We recommend line drying as a tumble dryer does exacerbate the process and reduce the life of the fabric.  

    You should also expect there to be natural variations in the weave and colour and variances up to 10% between batches or even within sheet sets. These colour variances will also fade over time and are part of the beautiful appeal. Darker colours may also fade in the sunshine and over time.

     

    Washing and care:  

    When you first receive your linen, and at each wash please: 

    • Unfold your linens completely
    • Wash your linen on a cold wash or up to a maximum 40°C
    • Use a mild, eco-friendly soap (in Australia, we highly recommend brands like Kin Kin, Abode or Ecostore)
    • Line dry whenever you can
    • If using a tumbler dry on low to medium heat, leave slightly damp and hang to dry. Note that tumble drying will reduce the life of linen and increase shedding of fibres
    • We think that linen looks best line-dried and with no ironing, but if you choose to, iron linen while still a little damp (best on the inside of the fabric).

    Please don't:

    • overload your washing machine
    • wash or dry with towels or any abrasive fabrics
    • dry clean or use bleaches. These will destroy the fibres of the linen
    • dry clean on a hot heat. This may shrink the fabric. Do not over dry.

    Colour care:

    • The colour of darker linens may fade a little over time.
    • You can reduce this by drying in the shade.
